Instructional Video???



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has any information on an instructional video or tutorial of some sort that I could give to my Doctor. He is willing to learn how to do my fills and handle my post-op care, and nothing would thrill me more. It will save me hours on the road...since I would have to drive at least three hours to the nearest fill doc. Also, he is willing to charge me for a regular office visit. Would love any feedback!:help:

You should probably have him go on-line and contact Inamed. http://www.inamed.com/

or he can call them: 800-624-4261 (that is the Product Support number - I am sure they can transfer your doc to the appropriate place)

Thanks so much for the response and the valuable info...I'll pass it on to my Doc. Do you think that it is a better decision to have someone local that is willing to learn to do my fills that already handles my health care or do you think it's in my best interest to go to a doctor that is comfortable doing fills? I just liked the idea of having someone 5 minutes away rather than 3 hours. Plus, I love my Doc and was thankful that he was willing to do something like that for me.:)

Hey, if your PCP is willing and able to get certified to do fills - GO FOR IT!! That is optimal, as far as I am concerned.

Really, the surgeons are busy doing surgeries - and you DEFINITELY will want someone local to do after-care.

Besides, unless you live in the farthest back woods - he can probably use the skills to make some additional cash from other local bandsters.

Hi, Almost Ready! Yes, he can purchase a "learn how to do fills" kit from Inamed. It is exactly like adding medication to any implanted port and cancer nurses do this, and he may have even done this in his medical training if he is a bit younger. He can probably find someone willing to supervise his training and maybe Inamed could even help him with suggestions.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
